Lee’s oil paintings exercise two realms of her creativity; a gift for portraiture and her personal work. Lee’s work involves aspects of her life, the people around her, experiences from her travels and her imaginative dreams.

“There is no way I can predict where the work is ultimately going. However, I do know that my work when taken as a whole is part of a continuing chronicle of where I have been, what I have seen and how I felt.”

Inspired by the landscape tradition of the Hudson River School, American Luminism, and vintage photography, Phoenix-based artist Ellen Wagener is a keen observer of the atmospheric and tactile qualities of the sky and land.

“Time doesn’t stand still for anyone. It passes in a blink of an eye and changes with each passing moment. In 1999 when we were headed into another century I wanted to do a body of work that would reflect where we had been.”

Chris Swanberg works primarily with welded steel focusing on form, scale and compositions. Strongly influenced by machinery, architecture and midcentury design, he utilizes found objects and industrial cast offs where applicable to create his sculptures.
